Cinderella Man Lyrics by Kinetics

0

[Verse 1: Man-u-ill]
I'm on the grind survivin,' ain't happy with my 9 to 5 and
Thinkin' to myself that my time's arrivin'
But waitin' suck, everyday I'm wakin' up
All these bills got me down, I could barely make it up
Livin' check to check, I could barely take a cut
All the money in this world, I could barely make a buck
It's an anomaly, blame it on the economy
But it's fine with me, paper ain't what definin' me
No shame, face it, there's too much pride in me
It's so plain, I'm a make it off what's inside of me
Bein' broke ain't the life for me
Though they say that the best things in life are free
They are...yeah, love is priceless
But who thinkin' of love durin' a budget crisis?
Heat's cut off, stove is lifeless
Outside is bitter and is cold as ice is
Inside a husband's all alone and wifeless
Wasn't makin' the bacon, some hoes is shiesters
What's left to us, what happened to death do us?
It's been hard since God blew his breath through us
Especially nowadays, we sufferin' layoffs
Most unemployed had enough of them days off
Brushin' off my shoulder, none of it stays off
We doin' all we can, it's like none of it pays off
[Hook: Kinetics & Man-u-iLL]
So when it all falls down, I say let it recess (feelin' like Cinderella Man)
Cause I'mma go insane, if I don't ever de-stress (ain't no way that I can fail the fam)
Breathe in, and I breathe out, and I take a deep breath (Cinderella Man)
Sometimes I just close my eyes and I take a recess (got me feelin' like Cinderella Man)
[Verse 2: Kinetics]
Yeah, and I feel like a Cinderella Man
If things are gettin' better, I didn't get the telegram
It rains heavy so I'm savin' my pennies
Movin' faster than the actors of the movies they made in the Twenties
James Braddock, came from the same status
So I'm boxin' in the ring 'till the day that my name matters
They told me to leave music alone, cause I was bound to fail
This industry is like a steamship – no sales
So I'm findin' it ironic
When the fans buy product, and money's a byproduct
Everyone who doubted, are you proud of me yet?
I started 2010 40,000 in debt
But I spent a couple nights alone, just so I could write a poem
Paid off every student loan with a microphone
I did it by myself, man I'm in this fight alone
Cause nothin' that is given to you, do you rightly own
Uh, don’t even tell me you ball hard
When you buyin' out the bar with your parents' credit card
These spoiled rich kids with no concept of money
They go to Ivy League schools, and they end up runnin' the country
Half of my friends at college, they got in through a connection
And then we wonderin' why this economy's in recession
So when I make it there, I ain't ever comin' back
Even Bernie Madoff made off with the money sack
[Hook]
